When reflecting on the past year and how much improvement I have seen in my mental health, one of the biggest changes I’ve made is learning how and when to ask for help. Being vulnerable about your mental health struggles is beyond challenging but I have come to realize the more open you are with others and open you are to receiving help, the lighter mental load you have to carry alone. In this episode I shared the progression of me learning to ask for help and what support I actually found helpful. I deep dived into my experience with therapy as well as managing expectations for friends and family and their ability to offer support on top of their own lives.

With the end of the year around the corner one thing that has been in the back of my mind is how much of a mental shift I have made this year. I've worked very hard to start living my life again and in the way I want to. It’s still a work in progress but I can say I really have learned to stop giving a f*ck. In this episode I share some of the ways I have put this into practice and move past the fear of being perceived. I hope this conversation is helpful if this is something you are also working on or thinking it may be a new goal for the new year.

Welcome to Season 2 of Clinically Unhinged!!! I'm really excited to have a fresh start and be more consistent with this podcast. By putting less pressure on myself to have everything surrounding my mental health figured out and always speak on things with such deepness, I have a feeling that this podcast is going to become my new favorite hobby. I talk more about my intentions with what I want the podcast to be in this first episode of the new season as well as a few life updates. I hope you enjoy and stick around for many more episodes to come!!

Live from London!!!! This trip was one of the best things I have ever done for myself in a very long time. From facing my anxiety, to actually letting myself relax and enjoy life again, London was truly an experience I never knew I needed so badly. This trip helped me take a step towards feeling like myself again after a few very hard years. Solo travel can be scary and uncertain but nothing has boosted my confidence more than navigating a foreign country all on my own when I wasn’t even sure I would make it out of my hotel room. In this episode I recap everything I did like seeing Noah Kahan from FRONT ROW at BST, as well as my thoughts on travel and future plans.

Welcome to a brain dump episode. I had the urge to rant so I took it to the podcast. I did a quick recap on current events and then dove into the quarter life crisis I'm having about my career and so much more.

I think you should be more selfish, after all…it's YOUR life. In this episode I dive into why I think it's important to be selfish and the connotation surrounding the word “selfish”. I often struggle with pleasing people and it's a goal for me this year to break that bad habit. Now, there’s definitely a balance to being selfless and selfish in the right moments and I dove into what that means for me. Hopefully this inspires you to reflect on your own people pleasing tendencies or at the very least you enjoy listening to me ramble.

Happy 2025!!! It’s officially the new year and I wanted to piggyback off last week's episode all about letting go of the past and working towards new goals. In this episode I talk about strategies to help shift your mindset and stop ruminating on negativity too much. I touch on the harms of having a victim mindset and how much it can impact your day to day life. The beginning of the year can be as exciting as overwhelming, don’t let the pressure of reaching all your goals at once send you into decision paralysis. Shifting your habits and mindset takes time and patience!!

Episode 09

2024 was the year I found stability in life again after the saga of my final year in college (You’ll have to listen to the first few episodes to know what I’m talking about). Despite finding a job that I love and starting Grad school this year, I feel like I didn’t do much and I am still trapped in my 2023 mindset. In this episode I touch on the things I’ve been struggling with and address my goals and intentions for the new year. I breakdown my 12 step program for 2025 and talk about how this is the year I will find my happiness again. I have a good feeling about the new year and I hope you do too. Remember a goal without a plan is just a wish; and this is the perfect time to start planning for the new year. Sending lots of love as we close out 2024 and best wishes for whatever 2025 brings you!

I wanted to throw in a more positive topic and redirect the conversation on struggling with mental health to ways to find motivation in life again. The winter months are approaching and we are officially in the last quarter of the year. This is also a time where people start their “winter arc”, which is essentially a rededication to your goals for the remainder of the year. In this episode I talk about the purpose of the winter arc, common rules, and the rules I have laid out to follow for the remainder of 2024.

October 10th is World Mental Health Day so I wanted to take the time to once again talk about the importance of continuing conversations about mental health more openly. I also took a deep dive into how I have gotten to a healthier place mentally and what tools I now implement to keep my health in check. There are some heavier topics in the beginning of this episode but I then move into talking about the positive things I’m grateful i've been able to experience since recovering from a point of rock bottom and things I’m looking forward to in the future.
